Amber Rose And Val Chmerkovskiy: A Look Back At Their Whirlwind Romance

In the unpredictable world of celebrity relationships, some pairings capture the public's imagination more than others. One such couple that garnered significant attention was the unexpected romance between model and media personality Amber Rose and professional dancer Val Chmerkovskiy. Their relationship, though relatively short-lived, was a whirlwind of public affection, social media declarations, and eventual amicable separation, leaving fans curious about their journey.

Their story began on the glittering stage of one of television's most beloved dance competitions, setting the scene for a romance that unfolded under the watchful eyes of the media and dedicated fans.

The Spark on the Dance Floor (and Beyond)

The initial connection between Amber Rose, 33, and Val Chmerkovskiy, 30, blossomed during the 23rd season of ABC's hit dance competition, Dancing with the Stars. While Amber was partnered with Val's older brother, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, it was clear that a different kind of chemistry was brewing off-screen. The dance floor, it seems, was merely the backdrop for the beginning of something new.

The romance rumors first ignited almost a month after the couple were spotted getting flirty at Rose’s 33rd birthday party. This early sighting set tongues wagging, and soon, what began as speculation quickly turned into a confirmed relationship. The public was eager to see how this unconventional pairing would evolve, especially given the Chmerkovskiy brothers' prominent roles on the show.

Interestingly, it seemed that Maks Chmerkovskiy, Amber's dance partner and Val's brother, approved of the budding romance. This familial blessing likely added a layer of comfort and support to the new couple, allowing them to navigate the early stages of their relationship with a degree of ease despite the constant public scrutiny.

A Whirlwind Romance in the Spotlight

Once their relationship became public, Amber Rose and Val Chmerkovskiy were not shy about showcasing their affection. Their romance quickly became "hot and heavy" on social media, particularly Instagram, where they shared sweet moments with their fans. These posts often featured intimate photos, confirming their deep connection and mutual adoration.

One memorable instance occurred on Wednesday, January 4, when Amber Rose shared a pic on Instagram, kissing Val Chmerkovskiy and affectionately calling him "My Love." This public display of affection was a clear signal of how serious their relationship had become. The 33-year-old model posed for an intense kiss with boyfriend Val, sharing a sweet moment with her Instagram fans. She later admitted that she "didn't want to put [her relationship] out there at first," but the undeniable chemistry and happiness seemingly overcame any initial reservations.

Amber's feelings for Val were undeniably strong. The Dancing with the Stars alumna recently divulged to her Loveline podcast cohost Dr. Chris Donaghue that she was basically "head over heels" for Chmerkovskiy. As 2017 began, Amber Rose was starting the year "madly in love," and fans were getting new details into this blossoming relationship.

Facing the Trolls

However, like many celebrity relationships, theirs wasn't without its challenges, particularly from online critics. One day after Amber Rose gushed about her love for Val Chmerkovskiy, the Dancing with the Stars pro lashed out at racist trolls who dissed their new romance. Chmerkovskiy, who was now dating Amber Rose, took to Twitter Wednesday to hit back at those who were coming for his new relationship after they both posted adorable pictures together. This protective stance from Val underscored the genuine nature of his feelings for Amber and his willingness to defend their bond against negativity.

Their public displays of affection and Val's defense against trolls only solidified their image as Hollywood's hot new couple. While Amber may have "flunked on the dance floor" in terms of winning the competition, she was certainly "winning big time in the love stakes" with Val.

The Unforeseen End of a Budding Romance

Despite the passionate declarations and public displays of affection, the romance between Amber Rose and Val Chmerkovskiy eventually came to an end. Multiple sources confirmed that Rose, 33, and the Dancing with the Stars pro, 30, had ended their nearly five-month-long romance. The breakup news was first reported around Friday, February 10, with Us Weekly confirming the split after almost five months of dating.

E! News also learned that the couple had split up after dating for nearly five months. The pair, who met while Amber was dancing with Val's brother, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, on Dancing With the Stars, decided to go their separate ways. The news came as a surprise to many fans who had followed their journey closely.

Days after Val Chmerkovskiy posted several cryptic messages amid rumors he and Amber Rose split after five months of dating, the DWTS pro addressed the topic for the first time, albeit indirectly. Meanwhile, on Monday, Amber Rose set the record straight about her split from Val Chmerkovskiy. She also took the opportunity to explain the meaning behind a red carpet kiss she shared with someone else, clarifying that it was not a sign of a new romance but rather an unrelated moment.

Their split, while disappointing to fans, seemed to be handled with maturity and respect, characteristic of two individuals who had genuinely cared for each other during their time together.
